Just thought I'd post a link to a topic on another forum on a 3 ring saftey release system-apparently the system is modified from a parachute cut away system.
Wondering if anyone here has seen or used such a system?

Just don't get your finger caught in the big ring when you pull the release.

It seems to me that it would be pretty easy to cover the top of the rings
with a loose, thin plastic flap that would keep fingers out but
would not interfere with the rings' operation. This 3-ring safety release
is a well proven system
and has been used extensively for many years.

The S2 Lock In Bar uses a similar system but made of dyneema.
I used it for several years and it worked well.
